==Lore==
<tabber>Salvaged Construction=
The Shiv is built out of the pieces of several ships (don't ask where it all came from), using a [[StarCitizen:Cutlass Black]] as the torn-apart base, a mixed-origin quad S3 remote turret primarily hailing from the [[StarCitizen:Hurricane]], main thruster nacelles from the [[StarCitizen:Valkyrie]], main hull thrusters from the [[StarCitizen:Freelancer]], and several parts which are simply unidentifiable.<ref name="ShivLaunch"/></tabber>
